BOUQUETS FOR MISS BLYTHE
The Popular Actress Makes a Hit In
"Only Woman's Heart"

Only u WOLuhn . f1edEI'
There was large audience at the Theatre
last night at the opening Of Miss Helen
Blythes engagement in "Only Woman's
Heart" Prominent in the house were the
members of the Ford Dramatic Association,
which was present in body. When Miss
Blythe made her appearance on the stage
she found an exquisite basket of flowers
awaiting her, the gift of the Fords
only Woman's Heart" is a strong play
because it is true to nature. The author
went astray from the beaten path, and in
stead of stlaining probability for dramatic
effect selected strong Incidents that are
probable and the effect is consequently
stronger than in the majority Of the pieces
that are put upon the stage. The credit OF
the play is due, however, more to the
artistic and graceful acting OF Miss Blythe
than to anything or anyone else. She is
charming actress, easy and graceful and
giving natural Interpretation to her lines.
Mr.. Joseph +. Brien who is Miss Blythe's
husband, and who is the author of the play
is an able support, and tho entire cast with
but one or two exceptions is far above the
average The play will be repeated to-
night.

ON RAIL AND CROSSTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
CircleR.

The owners of some of the railways IN
Great Britain are no more fortunate in their
investments, it would seem, than those of
some American roads. 1t appears in an ar
ticle from the London Halliday NelCS that
the railway mileage of Wales is $40 miles,
representing a cost of over $40, 600, 900, or
about $4,000 per mile, and that the result
of the working of these railways during the
yeBr 1886 gives only about L per cent. on
the ''debenUures" and less than a per cent
on the preference and ordinary stocks.
The Birmingham Herald says that the
prospects seem to be that the quiet little
city of Selma will develop into quite rail-
road centre as little as is being said about
it. Three parties of surveyors are now in
the field surveying the routes for three ra-
dial railroads from that point. One party
S surveying a road in Southwesterly dl-
rectiOn for connection with the Crescent
City, another is surveying the line for the
Selma and Atlanta air line, while the third
is at work on the Selma and Cahawba Val
ley road, with Birmingham as its objective
point.
A notable increase in the speed of which
steamers are found capable has been
achieved of late. The Etruria recently
made the run from Queenstown to Sandy
Hook in six days and three hours, an
average speed of 1914 knots or 221{ miles an
hour. But this has been exceeded by the
new steamship Empress, of the London,
Chatham and Dover Railway Company,
which has crossed from Dover to Calais in
55 minutes, making an average speed Of 90 /
knots or nearly 20 miles per hour, and by
the Queen Victoria, a new paddle steamer
built for the Liverpool and Isle of Man SER
vice, which made 24A knots or nearly %
miles per hour on her trial trip, and subse-
quently ran at a speed of 296 knots or
90 miles per hour. Even this has been
exceeded by new torpedo boat built in
England for the Spanish government,
which attained speed of 3314 miles per
hour

An Express Company Runaway.

A horse and wagon belonging to the
Southern Express Company was in front Of
Messrs. NJ. Ferst g. Co. S about 6 o'clock last
night. The driver was Off the wagon look
ing after some freight when the horse be-
came frightened and dashed of down Bay
street, turning into Lincoln street, thence
down Bryan street to the companys stables,
at the corner Of Bryan and Houston streets.
The driver, Mr. Bonham, attempted to stop

was pretty badly broken up when it reached
the stables, and in the race five packages of
freight were lost, two of which were recov-
cred by NJ. Ferst & Co. and turned over to

Laudner visited his employer in the prison
and was urged by Blu CESS to present a
check on a bank to Z gentleman at the
Lafayette Hotel where he had OF late been
stopping, but Laudner refused, as Burgess
had no money TO make it good. Burgess
said that he would fix everything before the
check could be presented, but Laudner
would not consent.
Saturday morning Burgess was arraigned
before the Recorder, and Bitterwolf
testified relative TO the SG5 check. As
Burgess had not rendered the check for
payment and had not received the money,
he was acquitted, and Bitterwolf was in
structed 10 make an affidavit against Or
mondicker, the innocent victim of Burgess
The arrest OF Burgess was published Satur-
day morning, and people TO whom he was
Indebted began calling at his store. A half
barrel OF honey and clerk in very dsa-
greeable predicameut, was all they could
find except the Office furniture.
DAZZLING IN FRUIT
Among other stories told by the" Ma jor''was
one to the effect that b. had vessel on the
way from Kingston, Jamaica, laden with
bananas and tropical fruits, which would
arrive on Dec. |. This vessel, he designed,
should return with cargo of lumber.
When urged TO telegraph to bis brother to
help him out of his troubles he answered
that his brother was mt the 'mill,n in Vir-
GINA, miles away from a telegraph station.
His wife, he said, was travelling for pleasure
and he had not heard from her for some
time and did not know where she was. AZ
ter his release Saturday Burgess called at
his Office, but went out again soon after,
and did not return and nothing has since
been heard of him He has probably
gone in search of other pastures green.

Flowers from the Alps.

The MORNING News has received from
Mr.. john Axtell, of Liberty county, a col
lection of Alpine flowers, among which is
the celebrated eidelweiss, one of the rarest
of known flowers, commonly called the
Alpine Diamond. The flowers in the collec-
ton were gathered in the Spear mountains,
a range of the Alps, in Switzerland, at
height of 10000 feet above the sea level.
Many people have lost their lives
in pursuit of the flower and large
sums are paid by tourists for 1t.
The great demand nearly extinguished the
flower and it became so rare that the Swiss
government prohibited people from getting
ton 5000 feet above the sea. Mr.. Axtell's
collection is neatly mounted, and is curl
Gus and interesting object.

THE CLERKsHIP CONTEST.
The Kind of Campaign the Candi-
dates are Planning.

The Kind of g Campaign the Candl-
dates are Planning.
The Court House officials were not a unit
yesterday on either of the candidates for
the Superior Court clerkship. Apparently
Mr.. Carr had the largest following in the
Doric building. Maj. Schwarz, it was I'M
derstood, has the Endorsement of the County
Treasurer Russell and City Court Clerk
Russell, while Mr.. Russell, Jr., in the Ordi-
nary's Office was outspoken for Mr. Carr, as
were also several other officials.
MIR. Carr can, doubtless, make his own
terms and get lucrative place if he will
withdraw from the canvass, as his efficiency
as an officer is recognized by every one.
1t Is not probable, however, that he will
come down as his friends are confident that
he will win, and are against any combine.
1t was stated that the lawyers are almost
a unit for Mr. Carr, owing to his having
been connected with the Clerks office for so
many years. A number of the legal frater-
nifty, though, will doubtless support
Maj. Schwarz, as they are officers
or members of his regiment
However, as this will not be talking cam
paign their support will simply be their
votes
The business mems vote in such con-
tests is never very large, and will not be an
important factor The heavy vote will
come from the shopkeepers and working
men, who are always active i'll behalf Of
their friends, and it will be to secure their
suffrages that the attention of both candi-
dates will be directed

The Expected Injunction by the City

The Rural Resort railroad is progressing
very well. The crossties and stIingers are
laid as far as Whitaker street. The work
is being well done, and doubtless would be
pushed more rapidly were it not for fear of
the expected injunction. 1t was stated yes
terday that the attorneys ON both sides were
ready for the fray, but for some reason it
did not come off, or rather did not begin.
There is a generally expressed hope that
nothing will be done that will delay the con-
struction of the much-needed railway con-
nection between the wharves and the bust
ness portion of the city.
